Sounds like a good plan Ken. But a surcharge on top of that needs to go on lobbyists. Also a liability premium fee needs to be charged to all those federal workers and their Obama union to cover all the crap they get away with in agencies while hiding behind Federal powers and immunity. Start with Secretary Chu.

Let's see....the reason that they need a continuing resolution to keep the government open?

Because the Democrats were so incompetent that they couldn't pass a budget....

In spite of having complete control of all three branches of the government...

For two+ years....

In violation of the law....

And it's the Tea Party's fault???

Yes, they really do believe that you are that stupid. Hee Haw...

To help lower the deficit and get spending under control, Congress cut 7 billion from the budget when the borrowing limit was increased. Now Obama proposes spending another half trillion?! Yeah, he is focused like a laser on sinking this country as fast as possible.

Harry Reid has not passed a budget in two years because he does not want Democrats to have to face difficult votes. Now, with another showdown potentially shutting down the government, he and his gang of leftist stooges are trying to blame the Tea Party?!?! Too funny for words....

Let's see now, the Democrats claim that disaster relief is critical (and so it is), and they blame the "Tea Party radicals" for holding up the process becaue they don't care about the people who are suffering from the disasters, yet they are unwilling to even look at cutting back on some other non-vital programs to help these folks they "care" so much about. Come on Harry! Get off your political high horse and do what teh people are paying you to do! Do you wonder why people are disgusted with Congress? This isn't helping your case!

These Senators ought to quit bemoaning that they are being reminded that they have fewer tax dollars and borrowing options and get on with dealing with it. They could start by declaring a moratorium on disparaging others.

THe Dems waste $500 million on the Solandra loan and now are willing to shut down government rather than cut that wasteful program by on ly $100 million. They have never supported any cuts - despite another $1.5 trillion in deficit spending this year. Obama and his leftist stooges are running this country into the ground with the help of the Senate Dems. Cannot wait until next year when we vote them all out...

How so? If you have any balls, you'll have details. Or are you just a Fox sound-bite echo?
